Zukunftstag 2026 – LET’S TRANSFORM!

JOANNEUM RESEARCH and Steirische Wirtschaftsförderung SFG are once again inviting people to this year’s Future Day.

Inspiring keynote speeches. Interactive sessions. A dynamic hub for innovation and collaboration: Future Day offers a unique opportunity to identify challenges, discuss solutions and foster dialogue between business, academia and public institutions.

The theme for 2026: LET’S TRANSFORM!

The activating message ‘LET’S TRANSFORM!’ serves as an invitation to shape the future together and embodies the link between the power of change and active action. At a time of far-reaching social, technological and economic transformation, the ability to transform is becoming a key factor for success – both for organisations and for entire regions.

LET’S TRANSFORM! combines visionary thinking with practical implementation. It is about developing new perspectives, designing innovative solutions and taking concrete steps that enable sustainable change. ‘LET’S’ symbolises openness to collaboration and a willingness to tackle change together. ‘TRANSFORM’ stands for active implementation – translating ideas into concrete strategies and measures that have an impact at a local level whilst remaining compatible with global efforts.

The event provides impetus, inspires discussion on transformation processes and highlights ways in which change can be shaped in a sustainable manner – for businesses, research institutions and societal stakeholders alike.
